(E-ARC)
First off, I would like to say a huge thank you to Iris Costello, Penguin General UK and NetGalley for allowing me to have my very first E-ARC. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to give my honest review of this book.
This story follows three women from World War One to the present day where a long intertwined secret ties all of them together. I especially loved the multiple POVS throughout the book which made me become quite invested towards these characters. The characters were so well-developed and at times it made me feel for them with the things they were going through. The story about the mute prisoner and the researcher was my favourite POV throughout the whole book. It was so emotional and heart-breaking that I could not help but shed a few tears during this part. Even months on, I still think about this book to this day.
Historical Fiction is not always the sort of book I go towards on a daily basis but I was so glad to have picked up this book. This book was very historically accurate and you could clearly tell the author had done her research throughout. I loved seeing the suffragettes through Kitty's story. Although Sylvia Pankhurst was added fictional into the story, it was lovely to see the work that she had done to improve the lives of working class women during the First World War. I really devoured this book in two days as I was unable to put it down due to how beautifully written it was. I would 100% reread this book over and over again. It has honestly become one of my favourite books that I have read this year. I will definitely be picking up a physical copy of this book once it is released in February. With one week left until the publication date, I urge you to go and pick up a copy of this book. This book has easily become one of my favourites of all times.
